No doubt the OEM fit is the one with smaller ET but we all know that the ones that have a bigger ET look nicer.

So my question is, if i buy the wheels with bigger ET (in bold) will they fit my car or not. I have friends that say yes and other say no. So now i really need the opinnion of more experienced drivers.

I think the deeper the concavity the better it looks no? If not these wheels look too similar with the CSL ones dont you think??

Yes it's looks better with more concave, but to get them concave ,wheels need to be wide and/or low offset. Doesn't almost every wheel with that spoke design look like Csl , but if you like it what does it matter.

Here is the same wheel ,but it's called style 359 replica and sizes are 19x9 and 19x10.I would probably look in to find them in those sizes so you get more concave.

Can you try and post pictures of the wheels I want to buy but with different concavity? Because even if one looks better than the other if it's just impossible to fit them in my car the choice will be obvious....

The thing is there probably isn't any difference at concavity between same width and different offsets.They probably just add more stuff on the back of the wheel with lower offset.This depends at the manufacturer.Cheaper wheels are almost always made that way.

Well of what i read and learned these wheels are for 235/265 (M3 measures) so my current tires 225/255 will not fit, crap....and also probably i would have to fender roll so i dont know what to do right now....im pissed....

You can easily use your 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 tyres with those wheels.Tyre is just little bit if any stretched. I have 235 on 9.5.

This guy says he only rubs at bigger bumps after fender roll and he has et20 rear.

As for the fender roll it would be only needed at back and you can't see it from the surface if it done properly.Infact you can't roll front fenders, because those are plastic.
If you don't want to roll fenders you can also add more negative camber to rear, or choose the 9.5 et37 for the rear. If later you want more aggressive fitment buy spacers.

Actually since I have kw clubsport I do have negative camber at the moment. Tomorow I will take some photos and then I will post them. After that please tell me if I can order the wheels with smaller ET eheh

I can tell you without pictures that you can order the smaller offset wheels to rear .However i can't say for sure whether it will rub or not.
You just have to test it.You can also try measure it like this

Your new set would stick out 22mm more compared to old one ,and you get little bit more clearance, because "stretched" tyre 255 on 9.5
Are you going to use those same tyres as the one in pictures? To me those look like bald and you could buy new tyres to new wheels.
